How do I tell my son his friend has died?

17/08/2008 20:38

My 7 year olds friend has just died suddenly - he wasn`t at the same school but my son played with him from time to time and last saw him 2 weeks ago. I don`t know whether to wait until he asks about him or tell him now before someone tells him when he goes back to school. Not sure how much a 7 year old will understand about death and also don`t want to upset him - he is very sensitive!SHould I say the friend was ill to begin with and then break him in gently?
